Hubei Yangtze River Economic Belt seizes the opportunity, develops rapidly and actively responds to challenges.

Experts pointed out that the new round of opening up and development of Hubei Yangtze River Economic Belt is of great significance to the economic and social development of Hubei Province and even the central region:

It is conducive to accelerating the development of the areas along the Yangtze River in Hubei. Hubei Yangtze River Economic Belt is rich in water resources, agricultural resources, tourism resources and scientific and technological resources. Its open development can realize the rational utilization and effective allocation of resources, give full play to the development potential of industries along the Yangtze River, effectively promote the upgrading of industrial structure, form an industrial structure, growth mode and consumption mode that saves energy and resources and protects the ecological environment, and further promote the sound and rapid economic and social development along the Yangtze River.

Conducive to promoting the coordinated development of the province. The opening and development of Hubei Yangtze River Economic Belt is conducive to breaking administrative barriers, market segmentation and industry boundaries, and strengthening regional economic cooperation and exchanges; It is beneficial to realize the linkage between developed and backward areas in Hubei and narrow the gap between the east and the west of Hubei; It is conducive to exerting the radiation function of large and medium-sized cities along the Yangtze River and promoting the coordinated development of surrounding areas.

It is conducive to promoting the rise of the central region. The opening and development of Hubei Yangtze River Economic Belt can give full play to Hubei's regional core competitiveness and advantages in science, education, industry, market and location, and become an important growth pole and strategic fulcrum to promote the rise of the central region, and realize the coordinated development and all-round rise of the central region.

However, in this plan, we also see that the Hubei Yangtze River Economic Belt is facing some contradictions and challenges. The plan lists that "the comprehensive transportation corridor with the main stream of the Yangtze River as the main axis has not yet been formed, and the advantages of water transportation have not yet been fully demonstrated; The industrial level is generally low, the added value of products is not high, the innovation ability is insufficient, and the overall competitiveness is not strong; The overall scale of export-oriented economy is still small, the degree of economic extroversion is obviously low, and the level of opening up is not high; The energy and resources guarantee ability is weak, the environmental pollution problem is more prominent, the resource and environment constraints are prominent, and the traditional development model is unsustainable; The development of urban and rural areas and regions is still unbalanced, the layout of productive forces is not reasonable, and the efficiency of space utilization is not high; The contradiction between system and mechanism is prominent and the integration of resources is insufficient.

Peng Zhimin said that Hubei's geographical advantages are also facing great competition. Hubei is one of the few provinces in China that don't depend on the side or the sea. To some extent, undertaking industrial transfer may not have advantages.

At the same time, Hubei's economic extroversion is not enough, and its total foreign trade is completely incomparable with that of coastal provinces such as Guangdong. In the plan, it is proposed to "actively guide the reorganization or reorganization of assets, promote various forms of joint ventures and alliances, strengthen the integration of industry and trade, agricultural trade, science and trade, trade and trade, accelerate the integration of domestic and foreign trade, and promote the integration of the domestic market with the international market. Cultivate export-oriented leading enterprises and focus on cultivating business entities that can enter the global transnational procurement system. "

Faced with such a decade in which opportunities and challenges coexist, the Yangtze River Economic Belt in Hubei Province can not relax its own innovation and development while focusing on building transportation infrastructure, improving investment environment and undertaking industrial transfer. Experts suggest that Hubei should take advantage of the convenience brought by the Yangtze River Economic Belt to promote industrial upgrading as soon as possible, instead of blindly undertaking industries eliminated by advanced regions. According to the reporter's understanding, the industrial structure dominated by heavy industry in Hubei Province consumes a lot of energy and emits a lot, which is not conducive to long-term scientific development. After the Yangtze River Economic Belt has begun to take shape, it should focus on industrial upgrading and structural adjustment in the future.
